This week in sports blogs and news:
This week on the Smarter Sports Blog we covered:
Financial times are tough right now in today’s society.
Even for some PGA golfers apparently…like John Daly.
Now it’s not known if he’s trying to earn money from his lost wages on the PGA Tour (he’s serving a six month suspension from the PGA) or to help pay for his gambling debt, but one thing is for sure, John Daly has a huge motorhome parked at Augusta selling off his own merchandise.
And apparently he’s looking quite slimmer from the rumors, having said lost about 40 pounds. Carry t-shirts and hats from a bus must be more exerting than sipping beer from a golf cart.
I wonder if I can get the orange shirt he’s wearing in his mugshot.
Gary Player has come out and said that he knows of at least one golfer who has taken
steroids and has asked golf organizations to start implementing random drug testing.
While Player says he knows of at least one player who has confided in him about their use and another who has “told him something,” he says he can’t say who because he pinky swore and promised he would not.
This is ridiculous. Why even say anything about people taking steroids if you’re not even going to testify to who did it and give us proof.
Plus, I don’t see steroids making it to pro golf. Unless injecting human growth hormone into your veins gives you uncanny hand eye coordination and people wouldn’t notice that you went from a 200-yard drive to 700, I just don’t see it happening.
Tiger already gets pumped when he makes a birdie. Can you imagine how amped he would be on steroids?
